Green Tea
Green Tea is one of the six basic types of tea and belongs to the category of unfermented tea. Due to the dry tea retaining the green or yellowish-green color of the fresh leaves, it is named Green Tea. It is usually made by picking fresh leaves, followed by processes such as scorching, rolling, and drying. The core process is scorching, where high temperature is used to deactivate the polyphenol oxidase. It has three green characteristics: green appearance, green soup color, and green leaf base. Depending on the different scorching and drying methods, it can be classified into four types: pan-fired green tea, sun-dried green tea, sun-dried green tea, and steamed green tea.
In "Lai Gong's Pharmacological Analysis of Herbs", it is recorded that Green Tea: "Green Tea has a slightly cold nature and a bitter and sweet taste." Green Tea has the effects of astringency, diuresis, and invigoration of the spirit. It is used to treat fatigue, excessive sleepiness, headache, blurred vision, excessive thirst, and alcohol toxicity, etc. Green Tea has a high aroma, a long-lasting flavor, excellent quality, and a unique shape, and has a high artistic appreciation value. The most suitable way to brew Green Tea is using glassware, with water temperature ranging from 80 to 85 degrees Celsius, as the antioxidant effect of Green Tea is best at this temperature. It has an attractive appearance, a fresh taste, and is therefore the most beloved tea by Chinese people and also the tea with the highest export proportion.
